Prithviraj and Jayasurya curse their fate

Not many are aware of this but Prithviraj and Jayasurya were the ones who were initially selected to play the lead roles in the blockbuster ‘Thommanum Makkalum’.

The film was planned last year, just before the KFC- AMMA clash broke out. Prithviraj was going to play the role that Mammooty eventually did and Jayasurya was going to play Lal’s role. The young actors were making fast progress that time.

But, soon, the clash broke out and most of the young heroes found themselves on the banned list. Their misfortune didn’t end there. Soon after the strike ended, their films began bombing at the box office. Discouraged, the producer thought he might as well stick to the superstars to make his film perform well.
